[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 642747, member: 25383"] I used to buy cap screws by the pick up truck load till I found KARR. Bought nothing but grade eight stuff to use in machinery (your a lot of money ahead by doing this by the way). Best brands I found were Allen, Hollow Chrome, Unbrako, and Karr. The very best quality bolts money can buy are from Supertanium (Premeir), but you pay about 33% more for them. The Karr Grade eight+ are almost as good as the Supertanium. 90% of the bolts I bought were Karr's as they just didn't let go under very high stress aps (your car or truck probably is full of Karr bolts). Race cars use mostly Supertanium bolts in the suspension systems, and are usually required to use them. It's a true mil-spec bolt. 99% of all stainless steel bolts are made of 316 stainless steel. Some are still better than others, but the alloy will be the same. You want to make the thread attachment last forever, then try Loctite Blackmax. It makes the red stuff look like jello. (don't do it) Lastly never ever use an "easy out" to remove a broken screw!! NEVER!! Use a splined screw extractor instead. gary [/QUOTE]
